Brighton Ave runs from Union Square on the west to Commonwealth Ave to the East. Brighton Avenue (and North Beacon Street) were originally built by the Roxbury Mill Corporation in 1822 to connect the Mill Dam Road (Beacon Street), a causeway that crossed the still unfilled Back Bay, with Watertown. This road was given the name Avenue Street in 1840; Beacon Street in 1846; North Beacon Street in 1860 and in 1885 the current name of Brighton Ave.
